The study used the survey methodology for the sample of the newscasts broadcasted on Palestine Channel and Al Jazeera News Channel to analyze the coverage of the cases of the prisoners' hunger strike mentioned in the newscasts by using the content analysis sheet.

The two satellite channels gave a large interest in the news and the cases of the Palestinian prisoners' hunger strike with the variance in the interest percentages from a channel to the other.

The news and the social and psychological cases came at the top of the cases of the Palestinian prisoners' hunger strike, followed by a coverage for the security cases, the political cases, the economical cases and finally the military cases.
